Will a router transfer virus to the other computer?
It will, if you (or the virus) tells it to. However, even if a virus is transferred to another computer it will not run on that computer unless you or another program executes it, or unless the virus is able to exploit some security vulnerability in another program in order to run. A router will not transfer viruses to another computer on its own.
Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
